Construction of projects aimed at reducing California's population of homeless people is gaining momentum, with major projects in the Los Angeles and San Francisco regions breaking ground or in planning as a result of recently passed legislation that facilitates development of needed affordable housing.
In Los Angeles, where more than 60,000 individuals are estimated to be suffering from homelessness, projects like Weingart Tower will help. The 19-story project, which broke ground last month in LA’s Skid Row district, will be the city’s largest and tallest affordable-housing development, offering 278 units of permanent housing.
